I led organizational change and business transformation initiatives

Empowering technical leaders.

I solve problems, both technical and organizational.

I partnered with Esther Derby, Don Gray, Johanna Rothman, and Jerry Weinberg to host this exceptional annual conference.I co-founded the conference; my partners and I organized the conference; and I led experiential workshops during the conference, which is the role I enjoyed most.

I engineered and marketed technology solutions to a large aerospace company.

I led sensitive proof of concept projects that defined and proved the value of EMC products. By making the progress of projects visible, I set expectations for both the customer and EMC management. My work cemented concepts and benefits thus helping sell EMC products and services to Fortune 500 corporations.

I specialized in collaboration and value management. My customers included the management team of Boeing's Single Glass Program and Computing Tailored Business Stream Program. My work improved the collaboration and productivity of these management teams, which both increased quality and accelerated the roll out of products.

I specialized in system management and performance analysis. Intersect Consulting was my own solo consulting company. I did every aspect of the business—from marketing to delivery. Owning and operating my own business taught me valuable lessons that I'll never forget about the importance of customers. I'm proud to say my customers included Amdahl Corporation, J.C. Penney, Pope & Talbott, Thrifty/PayLess Drug, and Storage Technology Corporation.

I was a member of its most influential technical marketing group—Corporate Systems Engineering. I consulted with Amdahl's engineering, marketing, and service organization on system engineering as well as with Amdahl's customers on System/390 technology. I led special projects that helped make Amdahl products more competitive and thus increased product revenues. I received significant recognition and awards, including designation as a key employee.
